Low grade, tape, but nice pages. A book I've always been fond of. Thanks to Terry's Comics for this one

Bill this IS beautiful. What an intriguing cover. This character, from when "superhero" was not already a crystallized word, makes you dream of the possibilities.

What if the Crimson Avenger had the success of Batman instead of him? At least one of the few interesting things brought in the 1990s was that heroes can be cool even in civil dresses, or with more varied uniforms, and not just the costumes.

 

Thanks Claudio. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder :)

 

That Tec has a pulp style cover. Oversized superhero and odd perspectives seem to fulfill the pulp editors desire to display the hero on the cover as prominently as possible.

Wow! A busy weekend on the boards.

Beautiful books Mike. Your Planet run has got to be near complete.

Detective 22 is such a cool book. Congrats Bill.

Yes, unfortunately being Italian I have little familiarity with the majority of pulps, but artists knew their thing. My only pulp is a beautiful Margaret Brundage cover, insides I seem to recall Seabury Quinn and additional awesomeness. In Italy we have had the luck of an amazing book antology (about 20 issues) which selected the best Weird Tales stories. :)

Unfortunately, most of the Golden Age material has never been published (including Timely).
